All-Terrain Test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H03vWdHS2E4 !!! ______________________________________________________ I've included an alternate version of the grenade body and rings: For this version 1.1, you don't need TPU; however, I haven't been able to test it for durability like the other version. I would be happy to hear any reports on this. The assembly remains the same, only the hard rings are pushed on from the middle before screwing. Please pay attention to the direction. ______________________________________________________!!! P.L.A.N.-B, a printable, lightweight airsoft nade for bbs with impact detonator. This is my first successful attempt at constructing an airsoft grenade that "sprays" BBs, withstands many, many throws on concrete, and is very cheap to produce. It is powered by a single AEG spring, so the energy and range are adjustable. Other things you need to be able to replicate the grenade are: 6 chipboard screws 4.5x80mm connecting the halves together and a matching screwdriver or cordless drill with matching bit 2 nails 3x25 or 3x30 for the splint Besides that: a 3.5mm drill bit for metal or wood a pair of pliers to hold the nails while you heat them with a lighter As I mentioned, this is V1 of my grenade, so there will always be updates to it. So far, the grenades that I use myself, each equipped with an M140 and an M150 spring, have lasted about 100 throws and show only minor signs of wear on the body, but due to their shape not on the mechanical parts that carry the BBs and open the grenade. However, in my experiments I have had to experience that the wrong material for the pistons can lead to very rapid wear, even to the point that THE PISTONS TEAR OFF AND FLY AWAY, which can sometimes be very dangerous. So I recommend you not only to use the following materials and print settings, but to test your finished grenades in a safe environment first: I recommend for the body of the grenade PLA+ or Meta PLA, for those who want it extremely robust nylon. for the pistons PLA+ from ESun or Ziro, but not Sunlu's(!), as I've found it to break more easily (I shot one of the pistons in my crown jewels. Please believe me.) or nylon for that extra wear resistance. I haven't printed such a grenade out of ABS yet, but I did in ASA and it wasn't stable enough. Layer adhesion must be as high as possible. !!! ______________________________________________________ I managed to print the pistons lying down on the bed with a 25% support structure underneath and otherwise the same print settings. Of course, these last much longer than the ones printed in standing position. I can only recommend this to you!!! !!! ______________________________________________________ If you manage to make one of my grenades out of ABS, ASA, or another material not listed, please let me know so that I can add material and print settings if necessary. for the middle, the Molle-holder and the splint I don't have any material to specify. These parts are exposed to only minor stresses. I think a good PLA or a normal PLA+ is absolutely sufficient. for the BB loading rings TPU. It will even help to avoid damage caused by throwing. The assembly is particularly easy, so that if assembled correctly, the grenade can be disassembled and repaired again and again. First screw your six screws into the grenade halves. First of all only so far that they look through with their tips 2 or 3 mm. this helps with the subsequent positioning. Then lead one piston at a time into the right grenade half from below. Pay attention to the arrows on the heads of the pistons. The direction they face should lock the grenade. Also pay attention to the holes for the splint pin. These are located in the walls of the grenade halves and in the piston heads and must be perfectly aligned. Now insert your AEG spring into one of the pistons, put the middle ring over it, close it so that all holes are aligned and tighten the screws. Meanwhile, squeeze the grenade tightly. Make sure there are no gaps between the pieces. Now just slide over and turn the loading rings into position (hole over hole), heat the two nails and melt them into the holes provided by the splint pin - done. The assembly should take no more than five minutes in total. Once you've assembled the grenade using my instructions you should cock it, for those who can't do it with their bare fingers I've designed a printable key and put slots in the pistons for it to engage, and then re-drill the holes for the split pin so that they are perfectly aligned and big enough for your nails, but don't fall out. Make sure that you lubricate your grenade extremely well with Ballistol or similar good oil from the inside after assembly! Since the impact fuse consists of parts that slide off one another, they will last much longer if they are always oiled a little. 3D prints absorb the oil very well and also last a very long time, so you shouldn't have to lubricate too often. To arm the grenade you have to push the two pistons one by one or together first into the grenade and then turn in the direction of the arrows. The pistons both turn in the same direction which makes it very easy. Once both pistons are locked in their positions, you can insert the splint with both pins into the holes provided. Then you take a standard speed loader filled with BBs, place it on the holes for the BB filling in the TPU rings and press about 40-50 BBs into each half. The amount depends on the spring used, but I'm assuming M140 here. I have also designed a suitable molle mount for this grenade, that will also fit perfectly to my 40, 60 and 80mm wide adjustable belt clip system B.C.S: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/rcs-indiparts-ml3dp-b-c-s-belt-clip-system You can print them out individually if you want to use them. When youve done this, simply melt two M5 nuts into the Molle stripe, braid it into your Molle and attach the Molle holder to it with two M5x16 countersunk screws.
